The occasion, we are told, is mad prep- aration for the annual Latin play, to be given Saturday night in Goodhart.

Although Dewey has not re- nounced isolationist support, Bell asserted that the Governor is a truly progressive Republican. His discreet silence is for purely poli- tical reasons and his desire to win the election. On the other hand, Roosevelt was condemned for supposed Communist support, because Bill said, the people don’t want Browd- er at the back door of the White House and Hillman browsing around the front.

Security is the prime factor in in- suring full production and the Democratic. program, once war- time conditions are _ eliminated, cannot offer security to anyone. Labor’s needs and wants are no different from the needs and wants of any group in society. The American working man wants a job that will enable him to live comfortably. The American enterprise wants an opportunity to conduct its busi- ness according to natural economic laws. The: interests of the busi- ness man and the interests of the working man here are in complete harmony, and. together they will be able to work out their problems to the satisfaction of both. In the field of industry, government can only blunder and confuse. The Re- publican Party guarantees to both American business and American labor a maximum of freedom to make this adjustment. thesés i not a dramatic achievement, at ‘least a good long laugh out of Double Trouble. The doubles’ troubles begin when Menaechmus II (Alison Merrill ’45) arrives in Epidammus, where, unbeknownst to him, his long lost twin (Mary Lou Miles ’45) lives. His slave (Elizabeth Dow- ling ’47) fast warns him of the dangers that may turn up and im- mediately a female (Betty Myers ’47) turns up, asking him, whom she supposes to be Menaechmus I, to come and see her etchings. This is only the beginning; Menaechmus II goes wild before it is all over, while his twin is thrown into jail and utter confusion. ~ Owls Defeat Ursinus | In Season’s Ist.Game Hockey Field, October 24. The Bryn Mawr hockey team, playing their first game of the season, stormed to a 3-2: victory over Ur- sinus. Though undefeated in the past two years, Ursinus was clearly outclassed by Bryn Mawr’s per- fect teamwork. Once ahead, noth- ing could stop the Owls. Only for a few minutes in the second half was there any chance of Ursinus taking the lead. The Owls wasted no time in proving superiority. Within the first two minutes of play Lydia Gifford ’45, scored the first goal on a pass from Ty Walker ’45. Ursinus went scoreless until the second half when the red team got control of the ball and Anderson, the left inner, tallied. With eight minutes left to play, Ty Walker scored the tie-breaking goal and Marge Richardson 746, put the third tally across for the Owls. Trying to recoup their losses Ur- sinus made a futile attempt to make two goals. Although An- derson made a second goal for Ursinus, the Owls’ defense thwart- ed every attempt to score again. Trailing at the half, the Bryn Mawr Reserves scored two goals in the second period to tie Ursinus’ second team 2-2, Bryn Mawr Ursinus Horn LW Perry Carey LI Anderson Gifford CF Secor Walker RI Moyer Richardson RW Harmer Hedge LH Daniels Niles CH Hobensack Bagley RH Dulin Rebmann LB Shoemaker Kalthenthaler RB Bradway Hyatt G Nesbitt _METHS Fine Pastry Afternoon Tea BRYN MAWR ( = | f ro | “Double Trouble” is the play Michels adds the gloss.

The 1940 poll showed a somewhat similar trend, although not so marked. Of the halls, five support Dewey, four support Roosevelt, and one is split equally betwen the two, while the Non-Residents favor Roosevelt. In 1940, only Merion and the Ger- man House supported Roosevelt. Denbigh casts 28 votes for Dewey, 15 for Roosevelt, and four for oth- ers, while Merion prefers Roose- velt by a 25-21 vote, with one vote for another candidate. In the Pems, West supports Dewey 21-18, and East supports Roosevelt.. 25- 21, with five votes for other can- didates. In Rhoads, South pre- fers Dewey by a 28-22 vote, with one vote for. another choice, and North votes 33 for Dewey, 10 for Roosevelt, and one for another. By one vote, Roosevelt wins in Rock, with 31 votes cast for him, and 30 for Dewey. Radnor is Republican only by a slight edge: Dewey sev- en.and Roosevelt five. In the lan- guage houses, Wyndham prefers Roosevelt 9-6, while the German House inhabitants are at a dead- lock. Of the Non-Reses, 18 vote for Roosevelt, six for Dewey and two for other choices. An overwhelming majority of Bryn Mawr undergraduate vote as their parents do. 263 students agree with the political views of their parents and 83 do not, while 37 may vote as do either their mother or father, and four do not record the political beliefs of their parents. Reasons listed by undergradu- ates for supporting their candi- dates are too numerous to list, but they center largely on the familiar arguments. Chief pro-Dewey ar- gument is that we need a change, that the present administration has too much power. Many object to a fourth term, while others be- moan Roosevelt’s dictatorial ten- dencies and his old age, blame him solely for Pearl Harbor, and ex- pect Dewey to save private enter- prise and to put the country on a more stable economic basis. The pro-Roosevelt faction looks chiefly to his foreign policy as the chief issue, and next to his experience in this time of. crisis. The faculty, too, will vote for Roosevelt chiefly because of his foreign policy, his experience, his support of labor, and his record of social legislation. Roosevelt means interest in the common man and in constructive social legislation as opposed to big finance interests. Chief arguments against Roosevelt are objections to a fourth term and to his domestic policy, where he is said to favor “dole economics.” Lost Lost—in Taylor Hall or the Deanery: a pair of amber-col- ored spectacles..

Current Events Continued from page 3 erlands are now facing problems far greater than those that arose during the four years-of German occupation. The Nazi occupation- al policy was one of subduing and plundering a country to the ut- most limit without reducing it to the »point where it could ,no long- er provide slave labor for the Reich; now that the country is be- ing liberated, even this small mea- sure of protection is removed. The Germans’ avowed intent is com- plete and ruthless destruction of the Netherlands through the con- duet of ‘biological warfare’, so that when Germany wages her third great war she will have only weak neighbors. To accomplish this end, she is flooding the country with sea water, thereby irreparably harm- ing the nation’s agricultural life and sweeping away millions of homes. The major cities are threatened with the fact that un- less the Germans are expelled, food, gas, electricity, and sewerage facilities will be cut off within a few weeks. Despite these hardships, and the knowledge that the Allies will have to’ supply their troops before aiding the Nethelands, the Dutch spirit is unbroken. Political Clubs Plan Debate on Election The ‘Democrats and the Repub- licans on campus will tangle in a challenging debate on Wednesday evening, November list. The res- olution: That a Democratic ad- ministration would be better able than a Republican administration to guide the nation through the postwar period. The teams will be composed of four student speakers for each faction, and members of the fac- ulty will participate as judges and as moderator., The event will be preceded by a flashlight pro- cession down to the gymnasium, where the debate will take place. Torchlights are desired to. provide the rally spirit, but are impossible to obtain. As yet, the _ political clubs have not finally chosen the speakers who. will defend and con- test the resolutions.
